Realm Jaguar C-Type : Fangio Bronze - 4, 200cc Straight Six
A stunning Realm Jaguar C-Type replica of the XKC018 finished in the iconic Fangio Bronze colour, famously built by Jaguar for the five-time Formula 1 World Champion Juan Manuel Fangio and currently owned by Jenson Button. (There’s a fantastic video online of the original car flying around the Monaco Grand Prix circuit).
This car was lovingly built by my late father and has remained within our family ever since, always cared for and maintained regardless of cost. A cherished car and real labour of love.
Built using a Realm Engineering shell and chassis with Jaguar XJ6 Series 3 running gear, it’s powered by the legendary 4. 2 litre straight-six engine running triple Weber carburettors, paired with a 5-speed gearbox that makes it fantastic to drive while keeping all the classic character and sound you’d expect.
The car has covered just 2, 769 miles since completion and remains in fantastic condition throughout. Starts, runs and drives beautifully and is a real head turner wherever it goes.
This is a very reluctant sale but family commitments mean I simply don’t have the time to give the car the use and attention it deserves anymore. I’d love to see it go to an enthusiast who can properly enjoy and care for it.
Priced very competitively for a quick sale and perfect timing to enjoy during the summer weather.
Serious enquiries welcome. Well serviced and maintained, yearly serviced
Recent work carried out:
* New water pump
* New rear shock absorbers
* New alternator wiring
Things to note:
* Could do with a service soon (serviced yearly without fail, just not done yet this year)
* Odometer may benefit from being looked at, as I believe it was calibrated very accurately to actual speed when first put on the road
* Fuel gauge could do with a small adjustment, as a full tank currently reads around three-quarters full
As expected for a car that has been enjoyed, there are a few small stone chips and minor marks but overall it presents exceptionally well.
